Cosmos Foot Massage

After korean bbq, we wanted a massage. This was walking distance so we chose this. I thought it would be a korean massage or run by koreans but it was my chinese. My friend wanted a body massage but they make you dress into their robe so three foot massages it is. It is awks because it is sorta open door so you hear the outside and our dudes kept jammering and talking for dayzzz. I am like dude you gossip more than chinese ladies. It really interrupted the peaceful zen vibe that it is supposed to provide to me. You first start off with a back massage and it is awk because you cant fall asleep. You have to keep your body upright since you arent laying on the recliner. It was super painful and when it came time to the feet, I was dreading it and wanted it to be over. He literally stays on the same foot for 20 minutes and does the same painful points and massages each time. He kept massaging my effin bones and I am like dude, I have no meat there, massage the meat! He kept poking and hurting and then I realized I had the other foot. So he did the same areas and massages to the other. I could not sleep even if I tried. This sucka cost $ 20 and then you have to tip on top. They accept credit card though. The combo of the pain, the loud noise from the outside, and the even louder chatter really turned me off.

although it is too busy, it did massage very well. if you wanted to take massage, you would call them at first for making an appointment

Went there for the first time & Definitely Not going back there ever again!!! This is the reason why:1)All of them Don’t have License to practice 2) End of session, he’s demanding $ 40 in Tip when the fee is $ 50 & if you don’t, they Cuss at you in chinese 3) They pretend they understand english but can’t communicate because of their language barrier 4) Unsanitized place 5) Price Not cheap !!!

First of all, I’m very picky with my massages so to say the least, I didn’t have the BEST experience here. I got a foot massage and the massage usually lasts about 45 mins to an hour. They have you sit on a chair and soak your feet in the hot water they provide. The massage therapist starts off massaging your neck for a little with some kneading involved. I would say they do so for about 20 mins and eventually make through to your arms. Afterwards, they have you lay on a chair and put a towel over your face so you can relax and sleep. The foot massage to be honest, was whatever. It didn’t really relax me to the point where I was dozing off. I just laid their waiting until it would be over. I felt like it was a waste of the 40 minutes. Honestly, I enjoyed the brief back/​shoulder massage way more then the foot massage. I usually like to relax and fall asleep during my foot massages but unfortunately I wasn’t able to do so.

I used to get foot massages regularly so my expectations may be a bit higher than others. But this place was a disappointment. It was good for maybe 10 minutes max out of my 1-​hour session. She left her seat for 5 minutes for more than four times throughout my time to answer the phone and to talk to the customers who came in the front. I sat there alone for what seemed like hours, and started to play Angry Birds to keep myself occupied. She comes back, stares at me on my phone, and continues her massage which is now all out of rhythm. She gave no apologies, and didn’t even bother to spend extra time that she had missed.
The only thing I like about this place may be the dim lighting. But what’s the point, it’s loud, crowded, and unorganized. Never again, my friends.

I’m scared to review this place because it’s starting to get TOO busy!!! I’ve been a happy customer here for over 1 year and the last few visits I’ve had to wait :(It used to be very empty and rarely any customers and these days it’s packed all the time! I might have to stop telling my friends about it. Anyways, you can get a regular foot massage for 20 bucks (I usually tip 10 bucks on top) since it’s an hour of heaven! Or you can get the 30 dollar massage where it’s 30 minutes feet and 30 minutes body (I usually get this one) ends up being 40 bucks for an hour and I feel completely rejuvenated every single time. I wish I could afford to go there every day, I’d be the happiest girl in LA. Hah!
Oh and first timers, they have mini lockers and they’ll give your shirt/​shorts to wear and there are slippers to use also. But it’s not like a normal spa with your own room… it’s kinda one room with everyone next to each other but «hey what do you expect for 20 bucks» at least it’s not a shady happy ending place :)
Lastly, they’re VERY strong and it may hurt BUT it’s a good pain and you’ll feel even better the next day. Better than any deep tissue massage at a spa that charges $ 100+… I recommend trying it a few times before judging but be careful you’ll get addicted!

Cosmos is nice because it’s open late — 10PM is the last walk-​in/​appointment they’ll take. Aside from that, I can’t really say much about the place so I’ll do a quick breakdown for you:
Pros:
+Open late so be there before 10PM
+Parking lot and street parking
+Cheap
+They cover your eyes :)
Cons:
+Not rude but not necessarily friendly staff
+Questionable cleanliness (I’ve seen the guy use a towel on me and fold it right back and put it on top of the other towels after my session)
+Agree with Sahar when she says that it’s tricky if you don’t speak Korean or Chinese (they speak both)
So although the cons do sort of outweigh the pros, late service is a definite plus. Just make sure you don’t get the owner/​head guy in charge. I don’t know if it’s just me but this guy is super lazy.

Thank goodness for the 1hr Korean Style Foot Massage. Im a rubdown junkie, and for $ 24? Pssht, I’ll take 2 please =]
It’s a little trciky if you don’t speak the same language, but everyone inside knows you look cramped, beat up, and in need (or knead-​yes pun-​ny) of a good massge. After checking-​in I HIGHLY recommend making a reservation), they issue you a pair of scrubs to slip into for ultimate comfort, then seat you at a row of ottomans and lazyboys.
Around $ 24 buys you one hour. 40 minutes of deep tissue and reflexology gets your blood circulating, and even if it seems a little rough in the beginning, your body enjoys the beat down. Following that is the 20 minutes of foot worship, each little piggy gets their time to shine in some pedi-​pamper.
Did I bring my Bf, Mother, Sister, BFF, and out of town guests YES. I think that speaks for itself.
P. S. hit me up when you plan on going, it’s kinda fun to go in a group… its even funner when someone falls asleep and snores (this massage is that relaxing).
